Hi! My name is Penny, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to care for your children. I’m a mom of two and a preschool teacher with over six years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities. Creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment is not just my job — it’s my passion. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. As both a professional and a parent, I know how much it matters that kids feel safe, respected, and supported. What Makes Me Qualified I bring both professional training and real-life parenting experience to every family I work with. I’ve spent years supporting children in early childhood classrooms, special education settings, and behavioral health environments. I am confident managing routines, handling big emotions, and creating engaging, fun days for kids. Being a mom myself means I understand the daily realities of children — from meltdowns and messes to laughter, learning, and growth. I care for every child as if they were my own. My Experience • Over 6 years working in early childhood education and behavioral health • Preschool teacher supporting children ages 2–5 • Experience with special education and children with diverse learning and behavioral needs • Implementation of IEPs and individualized behavior plans • Supporting emotional regulation, social skills, and positive behavior • Daily communication with families about progress and concerns • Mother of two children, giving me hands-on experience with routines, discipline, and development Skills & Training • Classroom and behavior management • Positive reinforcement and ABA-based strategies • Creating structured routines and schedules • Supporting children with ADHD, autism, and behavioral challenges • Conflict resolution and emotional coaching • Developmentally appropriate play and learning activities • Clear and respectful family communication • CPR/First Aid training (if you have this — tell me if you want it added or removed) A Little About Me as a Parent As a mom of two, I truly understand how precious your children are. I know how hard it is to leave them in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I believe in kindness, consistency, boundaries, and lots of encouragement — and I work hard to make every child feel confident, safe, and valued.

Hello My name is Laura. I am a non smoking married mother of three adult daughters. I have over 15 years of child care/ household management experience. I am CPR Certified/ First-Aid Certified. (Letter of recommendation and references upon request) I believe being a nanny is more than meeting their physical needs and keeping them safe. I believe each and every child is full of potential and as a nanny I get the opportunity to come along side the parents to help the little ones grow and thrive in a loving , creative environment. I am looking for a full time rewarding position. But would consider part time daylight hours. I also am a pastry chef and enjoy preparing meals. Early mornings are not a problem. I have a clean driving record And a current background check. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Laura Hurd

I am a 27-year-old child advocate who hokds a BS in Elementary Education and PA PK-4 teaching certification. I have been a professional nanny for over 9 years now. Between my previous work and classroom experience, I have learned many tricks to help in creating a safe and engaging environment for children. I have had plenty of experience working with children of all ages, including newborns and toddlers. Whether it be diaper blow-outs or imaginative play time, I am always ready to jump in. There is something special, as well as different challenges, that comes with each stage of childhood, and I love finding new ways to navigate this with each individual child. I enjoy tutoring as well and can assist with any homework and learning needs your child may have. I am CPR and first aid certified, I also have all of my clearances and references which will be provided upon request. I am hoping to find a postion that is open to my baby coming with me.
